...Cubans have their own complaints. They point out that only two Hispanics hold elective offices in Miami: Mayor Maurice Ferré, a Puerto Rican, and City Commissioner Manolo Reboso, a Cuban. Cubans have no representatives in the Florida legislature or in the U.S. Congress. Latins hold only 20% of the city government jobs in Miami and only 4.9% of the top bureaucratic posts. Much of the blame for that rests with the Cubans: only 47% of them are American citizens. Many still see themselves, apparently, as anti-Communist absentees from their island home...
...Watergate Burglar Bernard Barker held a $10,000-a-year CETA job as a sanitation inspector, which he got on the recommendation of Miami City Commissioner Manolo Reboso. CETA also paid half of his tuition as an engineering student at Florida International University. CETA pays Barker's ex-wife Clara $14,000 a year as a clerk-typist and his present wife Maria $12,500 a year as a city sanitation inspector. Says Barker: "I think it is a wonderful program...
...Anne Miller; and former Marine Sergeant Carl F. Howell, an assistant to Brennan. Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's longtime personal secretary, remains on Nixon's payroll but has worked mostly in Washington while awaiting retirement on a comfortable federal pension. The Nixons also still have Manolo and Fina Sanchez as personal servants. Manolo, his former White House valet, has taken on a strange chore in the entertainment of male guests. Nixon, who likes off-color stories but hates to tell them, often gives Manolo a sort of cue, like "Manolo, tell him the one about the girl...
...When we arrived 15 years ago, we were refugees and wanted to stay as such," says Manolo Reboso (no kin to Richard Nixon's good friend Bebe Rebozo). "We were thinking of returning to Cuba immediately." Reboso fought at the Bay of Pigs and later returned to Miami to work as an architect. "The Cuban community," he says, "is now looking for a political voice," and Reboso is proof that it is finding one. Last November he won a seat on the city commission and was promptly named to a one-year term as vice mayor...
That makes his total worth $1,283,256, compared with $980,400 in 1969. Against his assets, Nixon lists $518,038 in mortgages and trust deed notes for the real estate properties, plus $100 for payroll taxes withheld for the Social Security deductions of Nixon's personal valet, Manolo Sanchez. Since the presidency provides for most of his needs, Nixon in theory should be able to save a good portion of his $200,000 salary plus $50,000 expense allowance. His only other source of income while in the White House is the interest earned by his savings accounts...
